Gav Thorpe presents Storm of Chaos as the first of a planned series of campaign sourcebooks. Narrative, variant armies, heraldry and scenario material are intended to make a specific conflict playable beyond isolated battles. Designers then explain the ten army concepts, including Archaon’s mortal horde, Middenheim, Slayers, Eshin assassins, Sylvania and Daemonic Legions. Their choices connect background restrictions to distinct tactical identities, while the global campaign map gives reported battles a shared objective.

Paul Sawyer surveys fiction that gives the approaching campaign a more personal scale. Riders of the Dead and Magestorm explore northern warfare, while the Karl Hoche novels reveal cult activity and corruption within the Empire. Swords of the Empire adds several linked short stories. Notices for The Ambassador, Ursun’s Teeth and Sacred Flesh broaden the reading list; Sawyer distinguishes books he has read from publisher descriptions of the remaining titles.
